M-J Hoods have designed and built a brand new hood block for making a Dutch hood based on the design and fit of our best selling "Slijper" hood.  A block range will be "Symmetrically" reproduced via CNC machining during 2007 covering all the size ranges from Jack Merlin to Gyr Falcon. We will also be producing our own Eagle blocks, as well, based on a similar design.

The new hood block has been designed on the principles of :-

• "Maximum" eye room.

• A fit for Hawk & Falcon with an adjustment to gape pattern only prior to blocking.
